Ned’s Point Birthday172 viewsThis past Saturday, Ev had her eighth birthday party at Ned’s Point lighthouse. The day was filled with kite flying and drinking tea with the added bonus of lighthouse tours. Joe Dawiki with the Coast Guard Auxiliary helped us arrange a tour.

Donations are appreciated to preserve the history of Mattapoisett. Photo by Rebecca Harris
